5. Subaru Hybrid Tourer Concept

Subaru

Cool-looking hybrid concepts are plentiful in Tokyo, and Subaru’s stylish Hybrid Tourer is a standout. Forget L.L. Bean; an A|X edition would suit this Subie better. Under the pleasantly unexpected bodywork, a direct-injected, 2.0-liter boxer turbo and twin electric motors (one front, one rear) divvy the all-wheel drive. So, why must it be one of the Tokyo auto show cars we’ll never drive? Because Subaru says so, that’s why. They’re more likely to feature the concept’s hybrid powertrain and style elements on future cars -- minus the gullwing doors, we reckon.
